SAN FRANCISCO – JANUARY 6, 2004: Apple CEO Steve Jobs announces the new Mini iPod available in five colors during a keynote address at Macworld Januin San Francisco. Until today, the seventh-generation iPod Touch stubbornly clung to life, three years after its debut. The Shuffle and Nano, meanwhile, were killed off three years later. The iconic clickwheel model, which later gave rise to the Classic, was discontinued back in 2014. I can hear those “the iPod was still around?” posts clogging up the comments section as I type this. The iPod’s death has been a protracted one. So if you were considering purchasing one for any reason, buy now or forever hold your peace. Rather, it will shuffle off this mortal coil slowly, remaining for sale while supplies last. That is, as much as a particular gadget can ever be dead. And while it’s undoubtedly true that life hasn’t been particularly fruitful for the music player in a product lineup that includes various iPhones and iPads, the beloved music player has somehow managed to hang on.Īpple this morning announced that the iPod is dead. It’s a remarkable run in the cutthroat, always-iterating world of consumer electronics. Last October marked 20 years of the iPod.
